* HardTruthAesop: Is Dulcinée genuinely remorseful about toying with Don Quichotte's feelings? Absolutely yes. Does it mean she will now marry him as characters of romance novels and occasionally operas are wont to do in such situations? Absolutely not. HeelFaceTurn or not, she doesn't love him, and a relationship between a twenty-year-old party girl and an elderly BornInTheWrongCentury wandering knight won't work.

''Don Quichotte'' is a 1910 opera by Jules Massenet, based on a play by Jacques de Lorraine which was in turn loosely based on ''Literature/DonQuixote''.
!! The opera contains examples of:
* AdaptationalHeroism: As usual with ''Don Quixote'' adaptations, the titular character is a noble misunderstood dreamer who is so pure of heart that ''robbers'' refuse to kill him. His major jerkass tendencies from the novel are completely absent.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Aldonza from the original novel, who was pretty much just there to be turned into Don Quixote's CourtlyLove ideal, becomes the manipulative and flirtatious Dulcinée.
* DownerEnding: Don Quichotte dies, and the noble age of chivalry dies with him.
* DudeMagnet: Apart from Don Quichotte, Dulcinée has at least four admirers.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Dulcinée is remorseful after she sees how broken Don Quichotte is by her mocking, and apologizes for having manipulated him.
